If Syrian war erupts, GLD will shoot up and most equity will fall?

It will be interesting to see if this holds true or not.

Get ready and get some cash ready for some big shopping.

War on Syria will be like Libya i.e. limited and short lived. Believe there are more oil production than demand, any spike in oil price will only be temporary.

If you believe that, you can Sell/Short into the rally and buy the dips for equity.
When they decided not to strike (or postpone), the market will rally, oil/gold/usd will fall.

I like to see if there is straddle play here for either side.

i think US is merely flexing its muscles with russia opposing it while taiko france is reluctant to sanction the war. its a waiting mind game.

ibm at 52-wk low.

funny innit? when others are near historic or already historic high..

dmc, now bull mode already?

No... .er. something doesn't feel right. Getting mixed signals from my indicators.

I'm staying in cash right now.

'Thanks DMC, then i will try to raise more cash during this 'technical rebound' also

i wonder what's going on? the GLD is not increasing when the US repeatedly saying they will strike unilaterally....???

US now got no support. UK bailed. France also thinking about bailing. US Congress pissed at Obama.
I think Obama wants to bluff Syria but Assad not caving it. Difficult to proceed.

I'm staying in cash and off tonight .No trading for long holiday weekend.

tks man.

Scary now, just scalping AAPL .

I wonder is Syrian really uses chemical attack on their citizens? Iraq was being accused of WMD possession, in the end nothing was found. Will this be another excuse for US to justify war?

Microsoft buys Nokia phone division.
Lumia is going to increase market share soon....bad for "cheap" iphone.

microsoft drops 5.7%.

Just checking in...to take peek at the market but no play for me this week since I'm on vacation.

Still staying in cash. Watching bulls/bear fight from the sidelines.

hey dude, it's been a really long time.
yeah im like one leg on bursa, and one leg on nyse/nasdaq. there are some value plays emerging in bursa, and on the other end a lot of noise on the nyse end.
